GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Belle Plaine is a 2A school with almost 200 students. Everyone knows each other and green yo together for the most part. Everyone usually gets along and stays in their own groups.

I love this school. It's a small school so you get to know everyone and make connections with any class.

The teachers at Belle Plaine High School are very patient with slower-learners and always work hard to help the students with their work and grades. The current principal is great at communicating with the students and most students get along very well with him. The building itself is great after the revisions and additions a few years ago. Some things that need some fixing are how they deal with bullying reports and how quickly information is given out to students.
